A RECENT New Yorker cartoon showed a man squatting down in front of a doggy bowl which had a note inserted in the Kibbles. His wife or girlfriend was hanging up a heavy coat in the background. The caption was from the point of view of the man at the doggy bowl and it said, “The dog’s left us.”

| Bowls and dog-food bag: what does this communicate? |
We felt that way when we returned home from a movie and found a tableau that Gizmo left for us in the kitchen. He couldn’t have made his message any clearer if he had printed it in BIG letters, made it into a flyer and passed it out to us:
He opened and got into the cabinet in the kitchen, took out his food and placed the bag between his water bowl and his empty food bowl. He was telling us that he was HUNGRY!! He brought out the food, placed it within inches of his food bowl and left it there for us to see.
He might have well been Audrey, that huge man-eating plant in the off-Broadway (1982) and film (1986) hit musical “Little Shop of Horrors,” who sings “Feed Me (Git it).”
“Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.” Charles M. Schulz
How adorable!
ReplyDeleteSince then, he has not only done it again, but has taken out and re-arranged all our plastic containers, which were on the bottom shelf -- his food was moved to a higher shelf. Thanks for your response. Love, Norm
ReplyDeleteYou, my friend, have a brilliant dog on your hands. LOL And what a face! I'd be smooching him all day.
